 MANY things to do and Find | |
| I recently finished Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets story line and I'm still working to find all it's secrets. This game ,like the first, has many things for you to do. The gameplay also changes so your not always doing the same old thing. After you beat the story part of the game their are many things you still can do. For example dueling the masters of the school by collecting witchs and wizards cards. If you collect enough cards you can open a secret door. I think COS (Chamber of Secrets) has a very good replay factor because their are so many different things to do. This has already been said but it's worth saying again. QUIDDITCH IS WAY BETTER THAN BEFORE! The only reason i gave it 4 stars out of 5 is because their should be more boss's. | |

| This games follows the book version more closely than the movie. Aside from solving the Chamber of Secrets puzzle, you can involve yourself in collecting famous wizard and witches cards, look for other hidden passages and ride around the castle rooftops on your broom. The difficulty is about a "medium"; easy enough to solve and win over but challenging and inventive enough to keep from getting bored. One complaint: maneuvering Harry to stand exactly where you want him to (required in a handful of critical moments during the game) is a nuisance. Highly recommended for hopeless HP fanatics (like myself) and lovers of RPGing (ditto). | |
 Yes, It's Fun the First Time... | |
| When I drove home with the game, I searched the instructions at the beginning, noticing exciting changes like the increase in the size of Hogwarts. Now that I think about it? Big whoop. To be frank, I cannot see for the life of me why, if you have a better gaming platform, you get a better game. I played my friend's version for Playstation 2 and there is SO much more to do. Hogwarts seems to be based off the movie version, as it is huge and has things you would actually see. In the PSX version, you are in corridors that do not follow Hogwarts standard (maze-like) The worst part, in my opinion, is the Gryffindor Common Room. One would just love to have a look around, right? Hah. In this game you have very little to do. I guess I'm more or less a stickler for roleplaying, and was hoping the game had a more realistic tone to it. Repeating what An Amazon.com Customer said, 'Prof. Lockhart looks like someone hit him with a can opener. Dobby looks like a rat. Colin Creevey is tiny, and Ginny Weasley looks like a pig.' It's all too true. I would love to have moving staircases, secret passages only avaliable with certain spells and more prefects roaming the hallways at dark...it adds a sense of adventure to the entire thing. Oh, by the way, even though Harry FINALLY TALKS, his mouth never moves (or if it does, the inside of his mouth is the same color as his face) |
